When will we on FR treat the Mainstream Media as propaganda pure and simple?

Some of us have been since 1979. As an 17 year old watching the Iranian Hostage Crisis unfold on TV I can still remember the day I decided that the media was not to be believed when I watched them provide air cover day, after day, after day for Jimmy Carter.

I wrote the media off completely in 1980 when they tried telling the electorate that Ronald Reagan was a doddering old fool who upon entering office was going to push the button and start nuclear war with Russia.

With "news coverage" like that, who needs the media? I haven't considered them credible for decades already. The rest of you need to catch-up.
